    ... One clinging desperately to power ...lying, sacking officials who have contradicted him, bullying and intimidating his Republican Senators and Congressmen, refusing to accept the blindingly obvious and putting his own interest above the country by blocking the transition protocols e.g. sharing security briefings.
    The other has a different, more sinister, method of 'removing' opposition and is currently in the process of changing Constitutional Laws to a) give himself and his family lifelong immunity from prosecution and b) resetting the terms of office to give himself another 12 years when this one expires.

    Both are the actions of 'Dictators' in spite of perceived differences between the 'Land of the Free' and a former 'Communist' State.

    The major difference is the 'Orange liar' still seems to have the approval and trust of tens of millions, whereas Putin's popularity and credibility amongst the population has recently fallen to a 20 year low!

    And if the latest revelations in the UK regarding PPI mis-spending, not to mention other taxpayer money being misappropriated and links to fraud and cronyism are proven then it blows the lid off the corruption that many have suspected has gone on for years, but been unable to prove or at best brushed under the carpet..

    The problem is the unnecessary excessive 'noise' generated on social media from conspiracy theorists and
    fake news, tends to mask and devalue the importance of exposing the genuine issues that need to be highlighted and prosecuted.
